Flames filling football seats. Across the NCAA it is difficult to keep seats filled at football games. I would love a 40k stadium here but let’s keep 25 filled first.
Idea one. An instate yearly rivalry game with ODU. Both schools would benefit from this. Just look across the country at true rivalry draws. Long term Liberty fans need that one game to look forward to Whether it is ODU or some other school. That is just one of 6 or 7 home games. We have a Flames Club point system
Idea two. Actual ticket sales … no giveaways. Aside from a good product on the field what is the draw for a gameday experience? Easy, early, and efficient entry. The current gameday promotions should keep going. Ticket pricing needs to be reasonable for the market. Keep parking free and provide coordinated shuttle service much like amusement park tram systems (can also be used for other athletic events). Quick concession service. With such a small stadium an app can be used to order items, pay, and have them delivered to your seat. I can see the LU bags of goodies being carried by an all red clad attendant. Point systems for the public making ticket purchases scanned for entry. Three games free seat cushions. Let’s be real seating is not cozy. If three games purchased in advance send a seat cushion. Four games free hot dog. Incrementally add as more games attended. If leaving the game with less than five minutes left discount coupons for local establishments.
Idea three. Student attendance. Allow meal cards to be utilized at games. Point system for student attendance and if you scan your ticket on the way out of the game (within five minutes of completion of the game) where the points may accumulate for one free book from the book store for all year attendance or REAL discounts on other campus related items or events. Liberty already has some great after game movies and such to increase attendance ---- keep those promotions.
Idea four. Every person attending who purchases a gameday Flames Illustrated (which will contain a number) are entered in a drawing for a prize (which may be claimed on the way out of the stadium or any time after drawing). Drawing to be held at first break in fourth quarter and must be in attendance to win. Keep the interactive fan cams going. 4QF T shirts are a winner to keep fans in the stands but have different shirts each week and advertise the shirt. Early starts may help keep fans in the stands late. The earlier evening starts this year helps keep the young one in it and football is a family experience. And, Sunday is typically a busy day for some. Hands on experience where kids can touch real footballs and Liberty helmets or even try on jerseys. (I guess adults as well).
Just a few quick ideas. I do accept tips and claim all ideas to be my own. I would love to hear some other ideas as well. Maybe Jjr will give some of us some love for great ideas
